To Dust

This seems to me like an indie, somewhat niche film but its one I definitely enjoyed. It features very quirky characters (Shmuel and Albert) who are unlikely 'buddies', to put it one way! the unlikely situations they find themselves in, relating to Shmuel's late wife, are quite amusing. I liked the young jewish children too - how they investigate things they find out. Its very quirky, amusing and even somehow thought provoking, borderline poignant, as far as discussions about death is concerned. Yes I'd recommend this film.

When an orthodox Jewish cantor loses his wife at a young age, he has difficulty adjusting to his new circumstances, especially when he has troubling dreams about whether her corpse's deterioration is proceeding in a manner that properly allows her soul to return to source. It concerns him so much that he consults a biology professor for guidance and expertise on the subject, an unlikely relationship that leads to a dark comedy of errors, one that grows increasingly hilarious with each passing episode. Geza Rohrig and Matthew Broderick serve up big, unexpected laughs that often prove deceptively profound and sweetly sublime. This delicious little gem delivers more than what it superficially seems to offer, leaving viewers with good feelings, a warm glow and a tickled spirit.
